harry reid almost lost his job to someone wearing a tinfoil hat hat. so i think that harry reid is going to let this die but that's how the president wins. if the president fights a battle that he knows he's doomed to fail god for bid there is a massacre or the next ten massacres he can point his finger right to the people who killed this bill and say you own this. that would be a political win for this president at a bloody cost. >> cenk: your analysis is right. but if he wanted a legislative and policy victory, of course, what he would to is go to fellow democrats as your appointing out and say hey i need your vote on this come hell or high water. it's not an easy fight. harry reid bragged that he knows about guns because his father shot himself in the head. that was the most bizarre bragging i've seen in my life and it's pathetic. i know it's a high hurdle, and i'm not putting it all on the president but this is a way of trying and being artful. >> michael: by saying it deserves a vote. it deserves a vote. of course it's grandiose but this was a "te
